Yeah, you're trying to fuck with us !!! :p

Seriously, it looks good, but I don't know if it looks better than before. I'm the type that prefers the rake look a little more.

As for the rear looking a little low, perhaps it's because it's on a slant in the driveway!

One day, some dude will post a pic of a (stock) car that he just bought and someone will surely say "PHOTOCHOP". It's ridiculous!!!

It's not a chop, guys, I think it's just resized with a bad algorithm (bilinear?). Looks pretty good although I'd put different rims on it.

Def not a chop. You can see how the second one is next to a car, where the first is not.

And it looks good Lose the pinstrip and would look even better.

Thanks for the comps guys. No the car is not Photochopped it looks that way because of my drive way. It slants down. Should I go lower in the front?

You know whats worse, My car is that low and I drive around like that in NY. Once you go that low for a bit, any higher looks like 4x4. Like going from 19" to 18", never the same.

The rear end is waay too low when compared to the front. It looks like you have 600 pounds of sand in your trunk.

the toe on the rear wheel looks off for some reason. The front needs to be dropped a little bit more to even it out
